I apologize for the crossposting, but some friends and I are interested in forming a "BeOS Users Group" here at Georgia Tech. BeOS is a relatively new OS designed from the ground up to be stable, responsive, and *fast*. It has native TCP/IP support, a friendly user interface, and it supports a range of hardware. It is not totally POSIX compliant but many applications have been ported from other platforms, including Apache. Currently, the network code is being reworked, bringing it close in terms of speed to the BSD distributions. Games for BeOS include the upcoming Test Drive 6 and Peter Molyneux's Black and White. It is also very easy to setup and use. Installations average around 20 minutes on a good CD drive. Changing settings that would require a reboot in other OS's are effected nearly instantaneously in BeOS. If this sounds interesting to you, if you're unsure but would like to check it out, or if you're game for something new, we're trying to get together this Thursday @ 7, on the 3rd floor of the Student Center. It will just be a preliminary get-together; if we have enough interest, we can plan further meetings. Thanks.
